West has long flirted with publicly supporting the president. The two had a private meeting in Trump Tower in December 2016.

Kanye West posted a photo of himself wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, signaling his support for President Donald Trump.

West has been on a Twitter binge for days. At the insistence of his wife, Kim Kardashian West, he recently said he doesn't "agree with everything Trump does."

West met with then-President Elect Trump in Trump Tower in December 2016 shortly after he was hospitalized, apparently for opioid addiction. West apparently told radio host Ebro Darden that he's a Trump supporter earlier this week.

West posed in his #MAGA hat with Universal Music Group executive Lucian Grainge and YouTube's head of music, Lyor Cohen.

West followed it up with a photo of his signed hat.

President Trump embraced West's message.

In a statement provided to INSIDER, Cohen said he's a fan of West's music.

"I went to listen to music and see Kanye. He is someone I care about," Cohen said. "I don't abandon people. With great music comes great pain and stress. The music is incredible!"

Otherwise, the reaction to West's photo in the MAGA hat was swift and harsh.

Actress Gabourey Sidibe tweeted about it.

As did actor and writer Kumail Nanjiani.

AND "Get Out" screenwriter and director Jordan Peele.

Plenty of others also weighed in.

West also said he may meet with Peter Thiel, the controversial billionaire who backed a secret plan that successfully ended the Gawker media site, and who spoke at the 2016 Republication National Convention in support of Trump.

And he posted a photo of a poster in Chicago with the slogan "Kanye 2024" with the slogan "Keep America Great."

Earlier Wednesday, West said he and Trump share "dragon energy."

As West tweeted his support for Trump, Kardashian West said he was "years ahead of his time."
